Wrong, the objectives is remove the age limit and replacing the
old drivers,
During my general meeting with NTA, LTA,
WDA, EDB and many other govt institution and of cos,
taxi companies CEOs, the govt produced a trend of dwindling and
aging taxi driving in our ever increasing population.
If age is to remain at 30years to qualify to drive taxi, and
that only Singaporean can drive, in 10 years times, we will see
taxis driver retired more and more, with no youngs taking up taxi
driving, it will be a huge problem for the govt, as taxis is an
essential transport as it is classified as Public Transport.
Therefore, the decision to invest in Grab and Uber by our Govt
is critical to bring back a corhort of young drivers who prefer pte
car than driving a taxis, and as young as 21 or 23yo, you can
drive, that will make up for the shortage, as many, by the time
they reach 30yo, might have find another stable job.
So, it is not so simple as you think, you need deep thinking and
a holistic approach to understand why UG is allow to do almost
whatever they like, why they allow so young driver, why got so many
new rental cars at low prices…why still got incentives, there are
reason for everything, not just by what you see at face value.
...shhhh…please keep all these to yourself. thanks
You dun talk cock lah. smlj get younger drivers to replace older
drivers. Taxi succession is the last thing the gahmen is
worried about. If so worried, why not just reduce the age to
20 yo instead of 30yo to get TDVL?
If gahmen can get older people to work longer as taxi drivers,
they will. Reduce the burden on the state.
Temasek invest in Grab? You know how much they invested
anot? Less than 2% of Grab's total investment income.
You know how much Grab lost in 2015? Temasek investment
all kena wiped out liao.
